It so happened that we came to the Kemer region this autumn again and decided to conquer the canyon after all: for the first time we just walked along the route and admired the mountains. But here there was nowhere to retreat: although I don’t really know how to swim, I still need to see what’s inside! )) This time we lived in Ç amyuva, we got ourselves on a dolmus, an express train that went along the highway. The stern but sympathetic driver himself stopped the bus at the beginning of the official road to the canyon (one-way fare cost 9 liras per person). Then they went on foot. We got out early so as not to go in the heat and did not lose). Having reached, without wasting time, we took a ticket for access to the park and equipment for descending into the canyon itself ($ 24 per person). You can also take a boat trip down the canyon. The same price included delivery up by jeep, which we took advantage of this time, as we were in a little time pressure.
Upon arrival, we immediately set off to change and equip ourselves: a very pleasant employee gave the keys to the cells, picked up the size of wetsuits, helmets, vests (by the way, he picked up and fixed it very well! ), We had our own shoes - corals (although if it is not there, then it also issued with a ticket). By the way, turnstiles were installed near the lake and at the entrance, you pass on a ticket, or an employee lets you in. Suits are worn only on swimsuits / swimming trunks. You leave things in the cell and go! )

Let me remind you that we arrived early, somewhere around half past ten. We were the first on this day and immediately understood why: the water in the river is cold, and the sun does not fall into the canyon in the morning. In general, it's cool. Moreover, at first you need to swim 25-30 meters in mountain water. Then you go on foot over sometimes slippery stones knee-deep or waist-deep in water, in a couple of places you had to swim a little again, well, at the end, the waterfalls are also quite deep.
It took us about 40 minutes to get to the waterfalls and return with my inability to swim. By the way, the boat only takes us to the nearest stones, 80 meters, so you won’t see much from it. As a result, I’ll say: it’s definitely worth going, and I don’t even feel sorry for the money. It's not only beautiful, but also fascinating, real nature with elements of extreme sports and sports exercises) For me, it was a feat in general, because I'm very afraid to swim)) Oh, yes, if you want a photo, then be sure to have something waterproof for your phone and a string to hang around your neck, as your hands will be busy and you will be completely wet!

Again, due to the early arrival, we walked to the waterfalls absolutely alone! ))) When we were already returning, visitors came to meet us in whole flocks, and this is not the same!

We also got back by Antalya dolmush, went to the stop through Goynuk to the highway and even managed to have lunch at the hotel))
